+Spacemann Spiff Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hopefully this is the right section of the forum. I couldn't find any section about issues/bugs. Is anyone else having issues with the website? For the past 3+ (?) days, whenever I go to any cache on the website, the coordinates look like the attached screenshot, and also the map doesn't work, and I haven't been receiving any notifications on my TBs (which have had drop-offs & retrievals) or any new geocaches (if any have been published). Not sure what's going on?? (My browser is--and has been--Microsoft Edge). Thanks, John Quote Link to comment
+allrounder Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) when I go to your profile it says you are a "not validated premium member" - the cache in the image is a premium cache and I believe that is what basic members see when they view premium caches maybe you need to check your emails for a validation email? also it says this: E-Mail Address: The "Send Email" feature is disabled because this email address has not been validated by the user.

+Spacemann Spiff Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Funny you should mention the validation email. I just went onto the site on my smartphone's browser, to check and see if I still have the same errors there. When it had me log in, it said first I have to validate my account and to check my email. Well, I've been waiting for like 5-10 minutes already and so far no email. (??) Why would this happen? I've been a premium member for the past two, almost three, years and use the site pretty much daily. Then, like 3 days ago everything stopped working correctly. (??) P.S. Just went back to the login page again and made it send a 2nd validation email. This one came through. Looks like things are working now!! Thanks!!!

+allrounder Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 excellent - your profile now shows that your email address is available and that you are a premium member 1 Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 5 hours ago, Spacemann Spiff said: Why would this happen? The only way I've heard of for a validated member to become "not validated" is for system email to that member to start bouncing. Groundspeak has to do something when mail to a member's address starts bouncing. If they keep sending email to bouncing addresses, then the big ISPs start blacklisting Groundspeak's email servers. 1 Quote Link to comment
